  • Publication number: 20230218230
    Abstract: An intravascular blood flow sensing system is provided. The system includes an intravascular catheter or guidewire with a flow sensor that obtains flow data of blood flow within a blood vessel. The system includes a processor circuit that communicates with the intravascular catheter or guidewire. The processor circuit receives the flow data from the intravascular catheter or guidewire, determine a plurality of values based on the flow data, and outputs a plot of the plurality of values to a display. The plot includes peak associated with coronary reactivity testing (CRT). The processor circuit can also automatically change between a louder volume and a softer volume for audio output of the flow data. The processor circuit can additional communicate with a device other than the flow sensor (e.g., ECG, pressure sensor, etc.), and graphical representations of the flow data and the data received from the other device can be independent scaled.

  • Publication number: 20230190227
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit that receives a plurality of intraluminal images obtained by an intraluminal imaging device. The processor circuit determines a plaque burden for each of the plurality of intraluminal images and identifies a region of the body lumen within an image of the body lumen. The processor circuit then outputs to a display the image of the body lumen, a first plaque burden value corresponding to a distal end of the region, and a second plaque burden value corresponding to a proximal end of the region.

  • Publication number: 20230190228
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit in communication with an extraluminal imaging device and an intraluminal imaging device. The processor circuit obtains an enhanced stent deployment extraluminal image and a plurality of intraluminal images. The enhanced stent deployment extraluminal image and the each of the plurality of intraluminal images are associated with locations along a pathway. The pathway is overlaid over an extraluminal image. Based on the locations of the pathway, the processor circuit coregisters the plurality of intraluminal images to the enhanced stent deployment extraluminal image and outputs a screen display of one of the plurality of intraluminal images and the enhanced stent deployment extraluminal image with an indicator identifying the location at which the displayed intraluminal image was obtained.

  • Publication number: 20230181140
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit that receives intravascular imaging data from an intravascular imaging catheter, an x-ray image from an x-ray imaging device, and intravascular pressure data from an intravascular pressure-sensing guidewire. The processor circuit correlates the intravascular imaging data and the intravascular pressure data to locations along a body lumen shown in the x-ray image. The processor circuit generates a longitudinal view of the body lumen based on the intravascular imaging data and outputs a screen display including the longitudinal view of the body lumen with an overlaid graphical representation corresponding to the intravascular pressure measurements.

  • Publication number: 20230181156
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit that receives physiology measurements obtained by an intraluminal physiology measurement device within a body lumen. The processor circuit automatically segments the body lumen into a plurality of segments based on the physiology measurements. The processor circuit then determines a change in the physiology measurements corresponding to each segment and determines a recommended position for a treatment device within the body lumen based on the change for each segment. The processor circuit provides an output associated with the recommended position on a display.
